About this movie

Just as New York City was the backdrop in Woody Allen's Manhattan, the stunning city of Barcelona is the setting for the romantic adventures of Vicky and Cristina. These two young Americans spend a summer in Spain, amidst the luscious Mediterranean sensuality of Barcelona where they meet a flamboyant artist (Bardem) and his beautiful but crazy ex-wife (Cruz). Vicky (Hall) is straight-laced and about to be married. Cristina (Johansson) is a sexually adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, the results are both hilarious and chaotic. Vicky and Cristina learn some hard lessons about love - and about themselves. © 2008 Gravier Productions Inc and Media Produccion SL

Ratings and reviews

Brilliant woody Allen social commentary, toned down respect for European culture

One of his 'sumptuous' failures.

Great movie.
